Fewer than two weeks have passed since the last match-up between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics. Since that time, the Hawks have posted a 46-point home victory after four losses, while the Celtics... haven’t lost a basketball game since Oct. 18.

Boston visits Philips Arena for the second time this season on Saturday evening and the Celtics are riding a ridiculous 14-game winning streak. Brad Stevens’ team has been firing on all cylinders (behind the stellar play of Kyrie Irving, Al Horford and a youthful cast of characters) for quite some time and that was on full display Thursday evening when the Celtics toppled the defending champion Warriors.
